Toronto, Nov, 21.--That power laundry owners were lax in seeking proper publicity through the columng of the daily newspapers was a charge made by W. E, Fitch, manager of the Leundry Owners' Association in his address at the third annual conven- tion of the Ontario Laundry Owners' Association here. He recommended that laundry owners should spend V.

The application was made | by Cunningham and Smith, barris- | ters, on behalf of the London and | Lancashire Guarantee and Accident Insurance Company of Canada, which hdlds an accident policy of $7,500 on | the life of the deceased. Th comp- | any questioned the decision of the | Coroner, Dr. D. E. Mundell, that the late Mr. Samwell had met death by | drowning, and it is understood that | they hint that the.deceased had i | Seizure of heart failure. Mr. Sam- well had gone to Collins Bay to fish and his body was found floating by | the wharf not long after he had ap- | parently thrown out his line. All the | evidence given the coroner indicated | that be had tripped or caught his foot | in the weak planking and fallen into | the water and hence no inquest was | deemed necessary. The autopsy is to be performed this evening at Quecn's medital col- lege by Dr. James Miller, patholog- | ft. Dr. W. T. Connell wil] represent | the family, and Dr. Silverthorn, Tor- onto, the company. The sum of $7,500 is at stake in this autopsy, the €ompany being of the opinion that the deceased did not come to h s death through accident.

France was anxious to.take all pos- sible measures for a lasting peace, but she could not at present lay down her army because of conditions close- ly touching her national integrity. The United States must see France through unclouded glasses before it could appraise the situation in a true light. s Critics had said France sought military ascendancy, but he said the imputation was only a cruel ap- proach, coming after her record in the war. Any one who knew France knew the untruth of the accusation. If ever there was a country commit- ted to peace, it was France. Asserting with all his vigor and power of voice that France was the Hoods got under way, were also af- fected. The general sentiment among labor leaders that suspension of building was a splendid expression of a real desire for peace. They were not alarmed at the temporary unem- ployment, which they considered transitional, ' The men thrown out of work by halting construction of the battle- ships will be given employment, to- gether with thousands of others, if the government converts to the arts of peace the £30,000,000 which would have been spent on the fight- ing vessels, Labor leaders urged that the government use this money to encourage manufacturing and agri- cultural enterprises.

When Premier Briand had finished his addressing the conference, Arth- ur James Balfour, head of the Brit- ish delegation, presented the view- point of Great Britain, but did not reply in detail.

Washington, Nov, 21.--China's de: legation started Saturday before the far eastern committee of thirty her real struggle for freedom from her bondage, She had a supplemental statement ready elaborating her "ten principles." Japan expected to an- swet China's propositions, China seeks a new deal all around =a chance to run her own affairs in her own way, but giving regard to interests of the outside world. Before the committee met it was stated that the fate of the day's sessian, perhaps the success of the far eastern conference itself, would hinge on acceptance or rejection of point four in the ten principles al- ready presented by China. This calls for a show-down of all treaties and commitments between China and the outside world. Under the Chineses proposal a'l such undertakings not aircady re- vealed would be void. Among the things nearest the Chinese heart as revealed in advance by the delegation are the following: What China Asks. 1--Abrogation of such aeraements as the Anglo-Japaneses alliance and tte Lansing-Ishii agreem:_at (at least as far as the latter's interpre- tation by the Japaneses is concern- ed.)

Barnes, escaped "lif- er" from Houston, Texas, .who was formally acquitted in Toronto on a charge of passing spurious coins at Scarboro Beach Park, was to-day handed over to the immigration au- thorities to be deported. At the door of the cells he paused for a moment, shook hands with Detective Mitchell, and the detective gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder, "I believe that, for the sake of his two children, whom he deeply loves, he would go straight if given a chance," said the detective after- wards.

In place of | such spheres Britain, as evidenced by {a recent parliament speech, will work for "international co-operation." Japan also stated her position on Chineses and Far Eastern questions to the full committee of the confer- ence through Admiral Kato. Mefn- bers of the Japanese delegation ex- | plained, following the meeting, that the address of Baron Kato was not a direct reply to the Chineses proposals but was a statement of Japan's posi- |tion in response to the proposal { made by the committee recently by | Carfna. Japan supports the maintenance of internal integrity of China, Kato is | said to have declared, and in prin- |ciple is in favor of the administra- tive integrity of China, Then Baron Kato is said to have stressed the peculiar position of {Japan in China and the Far East generally becapee of her geographi- cal proximity.
